This essay presents a framework for teaching the art of acting in service of the urgent, moral need to ensure acting classrooms are inclusive. Inspired by a study of the Enneagram as a tool for spiritual formation, the essay reorganizes acting pedagogy into the “Three Intelligences,” or the engagement of the heart, the body, and the mind. The author presents how the art of acting can be taught in a way that charts growth through a student’s integration of these intelligences through a variety of training methods rather than privileging mastery of a particular acting technique. This methodology also makes space for new and more diverse approaches to the art of acting, broadening the American pedagogical heritage of acting techniques belonging to primarily white, Western teachers.

Zero Zone praxis (ZZ) can increase a performer’s craft and personal life quality, thereby satisfying the need for personal enhancement—a need that recent writings about performing arts and executive coaching have identified. ZZ is designed to improve the ability to avoid the detrimental effects of stage fright that often rest on the actor-director dyad, via expanding consciousness and focus guiding. ZZ includes external and internal psychosomatic actor training and intellectual appreciation of consciousness as derived from yoga philosophy and practice and from coaching. This essay is a discussion of the need to develop an elevated internal state of the performer, to unlock the blockages in the performer and in a spectator’s reception. I introduce here a critical review of scholars’ findings and my personal, practical experiences of forty years in Stanislavskian and physical theatre-making, self-cultivation coaching, and yoga.
零区实践(Zero Zone practice, ZZ)可以提高表演者的技艺和个人生活质量,从而满足个人提升的需求——最近有关表演艺术和高管培训的文章已经确定了这种需求。ZZ旨在通过扩展意识和焦点引导来提高避免怯场的能力,怯场往往会对演员和导演的组合造成不利影响。ZZ包括外部和内部身心演员训练,以及源于瑜伽哲学和实践以及教练的意识的智力欣赏。这篇文章讨论了需要发展一种提升的表演者内部状态,以解开表演者和观众接受中的障碍。在这里,我将对学者们的研究成果和我个人40年来在斯坦尼斯拉夫斯基式和物理戏剧制作、自我修养指导和瑜伽方面的实践经验进行批判性的回顾。
